Interesting what you said about Opel and Vauxhall selling cars at the same time - in some cases the same car rebadged, like the Vauxhall Carlton and Opel Record. So I take it Opel were introduced to the UK market, then united with their Vauxhall couterpart - which I remember. Then Vauxhall happened to be the more successful brand as it was more universally known here, hence why Opel was dropped I reckon. I always wondered if Opel was introduced here by GM as an experiment to see if it was worth dropping the Vauxhall brand.

Opels were superior design and far superior build quality, by taking the Opel designs and selling them in the UK General Motors saved Vauxhall. when it was announced that they were going to merge and we would have to sell Vauxhalls we were gutted, to appease us Vauxhall invited all the Opel Dealers to visit the Vauxhall factory at Ellesmere Port, whenI went an Astra EXPS was going through "Quality Control" as I remember the "Quality Controller was sat with his back to the Assembly line drooling over a picture of Gillian Duxberry on page 3 of the Sun, the car however was not in as good a shape as the door was smashed in, however it sailed through, 3 other guys were playing darts, all the Opel Dealers came away knowing full well that our days were numbered and that the British Car Industry was no more
